What is the Gamma Knife?

Gamma Knife is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive neurosurgical technology that has redefined the landscape of brain treatment. Unlike traditional surgical methods, Gamma Knife does not require any incision, providing a highly precise and targeted approach to address various neurological conditions. 

The system utilises a multitude of highly focused gamma-ray beams to converge at a specific point within the brain. This convergence is exceptionally precise, allowing for the treatment of intricate brain conditions without affecting the surrounding healthy tissue.

Gamma Knife is a proven technology and is considered the gold standard for brain radiosurgery.

Why Gamma Knife?

• Precision: Gamma Knife Esprit ensures sub-millimeter accuracy, targeting specific areas with minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissue.
• Single Session Treatment: Gamma Knife treatment is completed in a single session that allows swift recovery.
• Non-Invasive Surgery: There is no need for any incision, which reduces the risk of complication. 
• Versatility in Action: Gamma Knife serves as a versatile solution for a spectrum of neurosurgical needs such as benign and malignant tumours, vascular malformations, and functional disorders.

Outcomes of Gamma Knife Treatment:

• Unmatched Tumour Control: Gamma Knife can achieve unmatched tumour control and halts tumour growth effectively.
• Safe and Accurate Treatment: Due to its high precision, Gamma Knife radiosurgery is a safe and accurate treatment option.
• Improvement in Quality of Life: Personalised treatment plans enhance overall well-being, and result in improved quality of life.
